What Is FBT REGEN?
FBT Regen is the use of orthobiologics (Platelet Rich Plasma, Stem Cells, Exosomes) to help speed healing in tendon, ligament, joint capsule and meniscus.
Performax Health Group has been doing orthobiological injections for over 10 years. The 3rd phase of our treatment process, FORCE BALANCE TECHNIQUE, FBT REGEN utilizes the healing and tissue strengthening properties of concentrated platelets in our PRP injections.
Much healing can be accelerated and bolstered by our PRP injection process. Clinically, we have helped well over 1000 patients that were “stuck” with chronic injury overcome injuries to the neck, shoulders, low back, hips, knees and ankles. The combination of proper bio-mechanical rehab with the healing power of Platelet Rich Plasma using our in-house process called FORCE BALANCE TECHNIQUE is helping people get their lives back. Let us help you stop your suffering.
Currently, we are only offering PRP injections due to a decision by Health Canada to suspend all stem cell treatments until further research has clarified its efficacy. We support this decision and are involved in research and clinical trial to advance understanding of the proper use of stem cells to improve the functional ability of our patients.
What does FBT REGEN look like?
After an initial assessment and diagnosis that often involves imaging studies, blood will be collected from your arm just as it would if you were donating blood. The volume of blood needed varies from 50 ml to 150 ml depending on the area being treated. At Performax, we use the most advanced PRP system available in Canada - Athrex Angel PRP. This system allows precise control of red and white blood cell counts and concentrates platelets to 18 times baseline. Most other systems are not enclosed systems, cannot control for white blood cells and concentrate only between 3-9 times baseline. After centrifugation and the PRP is ready to do, the area to be treated will be sterilized and anaesthetized. The PRP is then injected under ultrasound guidance into the injured area. This process is not pain free but the anaesthetic can reduce the level of discomfort. The majority of people tolerate the procedure very well and have very successful outcomes.
Who is FBT REGEN for?
If you are suffering from chronic pain and have failed to resolve it using conservative means (physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, strength and conditioning) you may be a candidate for FBT REGEN. Force Balance Technique is a 3 stage process that leads to healing your tendons, ligaments and other collagenous based “anchors” with orthobiologics in the form of PRP, stem cells and other products derived from your blood. We rarely start our clients with FBT REGEN. For successful outcomes we believe that the tissues we are injecting need to be supported on an free-moving and ALIGNED frame. It makes no sense to us to inject a knee, for instance, that is caught in the middle of a mal-aligned pelvis and ankle. For the high level of sustainable, pain-free movement we want you to achieve, ALL 3 stages are necessary and none are more important than the other. Together, these 3 stages of rehabilitation, including FBT REGEN, will give you the results you have been looking for.

How it works
FBT™ Mech
Manual therapy to correct structural (skeletal) alignment and mobility. It is our experience that creating sustainable relief from muscle and joint pain is almost impossible until proper alignment and mobilization has been achieved.
FBT™ Neuro
Exercise with electro-muscular stimulation (EMS) to retrain your brain and nervous system how to control your new mobility. We utilize proprietary technology in the form of our patented E-stim device called FBT neuro.
FBT™ Regen
To heal your chronically injured tendons, ligaments and joints when physiotherapy isn’t the full fix. FBT™ gives people hope that there is a solution to their chronic pain and we prove it every day.
